Ottawa

Ottawa is located in the province of Ontario. It is the capital of Canada. The population of Ottawa is about 850,000. There are two main rivers in the city: the Ottawa and the Rideau.

The city of Ottawa was planned and built with an active participation of Colonel John By. He was an engineer employed at the construction of the Rideau Canal over the Rideau River. It is after him that Ottawa was firstly named Bytown. In 1855 Bytown was renamed Ottawa. Two years later Queen Victoria chose Ottawa to be the seat of the Ca­nadian Government. Thus, Ottawa became the capital of the country.

Many of the first houses were made of wood. And during its history the town was hit by great fires several times. In the first part of the 20th century the city was reconstructed. A new plan was designed for the city by Jacques Greber, a reputed architect of the century. He planned Ottawa as a beautiful city of impressive parks, alleys, and squares. The most fa­mous and the largest park in Ottawa is Gatineau Park. The oldest part of the city was named Lower Town. Here the his­toric heritage of Ottawa exists. Wellington Street is the main artery of the city. It is the center of administrative and cultural life of the city.

The city got the name "the City of Bridges", because there are a lot of bridges crossing the Rideau and the Ottawa riv­ers. The waters of the mighty Ottawa River were used to generate electricity. Ottawa became one of the first cities to use electric heating appliances and to set up lighting facilities in the streets and roads. Today Ottawa is a vibrant modern city with lots of attractions for its citizens and visitors. It ranks as one of the top cities to live in.
